A baby bok choi. Taller and thinner than Mei Qing, but just as delicious. Appears to have good bolt-resistance: it held well in heat into June, when all the other cool weather veggies in my garden had bolted.

Feng Qing Choi is a slow bolting Mei Qing Choi type with a taller plant size and a dark leaf color. The shape is vase-like. This variety has excellent holding ability and uniformity.
